Control Panel Icons blank but present

I was looking to recover a log-in to my Me laptop and one thing I tried was doing a backup of the two registry files, by using attrib and then copying them to a backup directory. I also then saw how to rename the *.pwl file to do what I wanted. However a side effect of the things I tried first was that my Control Panel window is now blank. The icons are apparently there, since the count is at the bottom of the window and if I type the first letter and hit enter, the applet runs. But I would really like to see them. Both the icon images and the titles/names are invisible. What can I do to fix this. It's not a great computer but it's still usefull for the serial port in the back.
